Pride and Prejudice
Synopsis
Adapted by Jon Jory from the novel by Jane Austen
All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen’s classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet’s most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it’s difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense – but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?
